Don't tell me not to fly, 
7    -6   6   5  3 
I’ve sim-ply got to 
7   6   -6    7   7   8
If some-one takes a spill, 
7    -6  6   5   3
it's me and not you 
7     6  -6   7   7  -9
Who bring a-round a cloud
-7   8  -8 -7 -8  8
to rain on my pa-rade

7      6   -6  7   7  8
Don't tell me not to live, 
7    -6   6   5   3
just sit and put-ter 
7       6  -6  7   7    8
Life's can-dy and the sun's 
7  -6  6   5   3
a ball of but-ter 
7     6  -6    7    7    -9
Who told you you’re al-lowed
-7   8  -8 -7 -8   8  
to rain on my pa-rade 

-9     -9  -9  8   -6   -9    -9  -9   9
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum 
-9  -9  -9   8     6
And if I'm fanned out, 
-7*   -7* -7  7*  -5
your turn at bat, sir 
7*  -7*  7*-7*  7*  -7* 7*   7   -5 
At least I did-n't fake it, hat, sir 
7   -7  7 -7   7   -7  7*
I guess I did-n't make it 

7     6   -6  7   7   8
But wheth-er I'm the rose 
7   -6    6   5   3   
of sheer per-fec-tion 
7    6   -6  7  7   8
Or freck-le on the nose 
7   -6     6   5    3
of life's com-plex-ion 
7    6  -6  7   7
The Cin-der or the 
-9  -7  8 -8  -7  7  -7
Shi-ny ap-ple of its eye 
-9-9  8  -8   -9   8  8  -8 -7   8
I got-ta fly once, I got-ta try once, 
-8 -8 -7   7   -6     6     7
On-ly can die once, right, sir? 

-9    -9   8  -8 -9   8   8 -8  -7   8
Ooh, love is juic-y, juic-y and you see, 
-8-8  -7   7 -6*  6    -6
I got-ta have my bite, sir. 
7     6 -6  7   7   8 
Get rea-dy for me, love, 
7      -6  6   5   3
'cause I'm a "com-er" 
7  6  -6   7   7   8
I sim-ply got-ta march, 
7    -6    6   5   3
my heart's a drum-mer 
7      6   -6   7   7   -9
Don't bring a-round a cloud 
-7   8  -8 -7 -8  8  
to rain on my pa-rade, 

7   -6  7   7   -6   7    7
I'm gon-na live and live NOW! 
7    -6  7  7   -6  7    7
Get what I want, I know how! 
7    -6   7   7  -6   7   7
All that the law will al-low
-7   7   -7  -7    7   -7   -7
One roll for the whole she-bang! 
-7    7    -7  -7    7   -7   -7
One throw that bell will go clang, 
-7    7 -7  -7    7 -7  -7
Tho’ I'm a-lone, I'm a gang
-8  -7 -8  -8  -7  -8   -8
Eye on the tar-get and wham, 
-8   -7   -8  -8   -7  -8  -8
One shot, one gun shot and bam! 
8      -8    8  -8 8
Hey, world, here I am ... 

7    6  -6  7   7   8
Get rea-dy for me love, 
7      -6  6   5   3
'cause I'm a "com-er" 
7* -6 -6*  7* 7*   8*
I sim-ply got-ta march, 
7*   -6*  -6  5*   3*
my heart's a drum-mer 
8   7  8  7   8   7  8
No-bod-y, no, no-bod-y, 
7   8  7    8   7  8  7  8
